Gray is subtle yet bold with how dark and reflective it is. Simple watch. Great size and micro adjustment is a nice touch for those that are picky with the fit. Angled crown at 4 is out of the way when wrist is bent. It's also new, released in 2023 vs other versions from 2018 or earlier.
My first Citizen, Eco-Drive, and Dive-style watch. I got this as a go anywhere, do anything, wear every day, set it and forget it watch. I specifically wanted a rotating bezel to use as a quick-set timer. I love the watch. It seems near bullet proof is very accurate and consistent in the first 4 months I’ve had it. So far the watch loses almost exactly 2 seconds per month (See image. I’ve been monitoring it daily). I did not expect, but love the extreme legibility of the watch. The time is always available at the slightest glance in all lighting conditions. The Lume can be seen all night when your eyes are adjusted to the dark. This is true even when you don not specifically charge the lume by exposing to light in the evening. My only complaints are: 1) The watch is slightly thick 2) The second hand does not exactly align with the markers. The bezel was hard to turn when I got it, but I lubricated it and it now turns very smoothly. I LOVE the micro-adjustable feature on the bracelet. You size the watch perfectly for your “at rest” wrist then can easily make it larger when you exercise. Great job, Citizen
